Love your spirit Tiga. I can watch repeats on tv again and again and still not remember the end. Looking on the plus side when we went to Disneyland we jumped all the queues because I was in a wheelchair and my kids had a fab time and went on everything they wanted to lots of times. They also call my disabled parking badge the magic parking permit :)

Oh Tiga, you make me laugh too.. and thats always a good thing! I too watch lots of film and sometimes they have a strange effect on me, as does music. Yesterday I was watching a motor bike kind of parade going through my small market town.. think they were Goldwings.. though I confess to knowing nothing at all about MBikes or have any interest whatsoever. Anyway I found myself crying at the spectacle of these folk from all areas over Europe and North America driving their vehicles and tooting their horns... how mad is that (I need to get out more!). Often very odd how things move you post VM eh? Keep crying at the movies girl and enjoy the new bits... going to look out for that in some re-watched ones!

Hey! It's not just for you vm's, I'm a bm and I too get to enjoy movies and old sitcoms like I've never seen them too! Lol! Canada, you mention music having a storage effect on you, me too!!! It's so weird, unless I know the song really well it takes me a while to figure out what it is. Sometimes it just fills my head, and makes it rush(for lack of better description) and just sounds like so much noise, and I have to turn it off. Thistles me super sad as I've always loved music.
